Svchost.exe

Recently, my computers memory consumption has gone up from 25% idle to 33-34% idle. It usually goes up after about 2 hours of being turned on. When the memory is at 33-34% one of the svchost process's (note there are 3) is very high 64,000-73,000 k of memory is being used by it (when usually it is at 40,000- 50,000). I have scanned my computer for viruses and found none. My computer is an Inspiron E1505,2GB ram, Windows Vista Home Premium, 1.83GHZ centrino duo. What is causing it to be so high & will it return to normal soon?

    You could use the Microsoft program  Process Explorer to determine what servics are running under Svchost. Just right click the SVCHOST instance and you will see the services that are running under that instance of SVCHOST. If you think that one of the services is out of control you could stop that service to try and narrow the problem down.
